I do! It just might not be the most visible background. That's about what I expected, but stoked they will be usable! I paid $120 for all of them +2 piececs of OKAY vegtan, another that had a terrible smell and I had to toss. I thought that was decent, even with the damaged ones! I see, I appreciate the honesty. I will probably just stick to the punches I had already. -Don't tell the leather my tools are from different brands... Maybe if I happen upon one and feel like testing it out Thank you all for the feedback!

That's what I was thinking? It just says AS BRAND in all caps. The other Al Stohlman belt punch and the knives I've seen at work have the trademark brand with the 2A's symbol at the end. So, I'm not certain. That's what I was assuming. EDIT: my coworker said it was possible to get them functional but she didn't say much on how haha.

Hello all! I haven't really posted on here before, been more of a lurker haha. Recently, while I was at work, a man came around selling some tools and leather that he had extra. I'm fairly new to leather working (about 7 months), but I have heard tell that some tools are better quality than others in the long run. I have been anticipating a chance to get some better tools so when he pulled out some punches that are branded "AS BRAND" and an "Al Stohlman" belt punch, I quickly offered to buy them as I recognized the name. In heinsight, I should have inspected them a bit closer. A couple of the punches are damaged (See pics). I can't find any information on them online and was hoping someone could fill me and let me know if they can be fixed and/or if it would be worth while. I'm kind of leaning on; I should have looked closer and passed on them but hoping I can still get use out of them. The fact that they are already damaged and I can't find any information on them does not give high hopes for the others. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you (:
